No. Desert has one s in it for SAND, dessert has two s's in it for SWEET STUFF. Easy to remember.

No. Dessert has two S's because you always want seconds
03/18/2013
No I don't.

No. In fact, I've HAD dessert in the desert! A hot fudge sundae. And yeah, I wanted seconds.
The confusing words in French are more fun. Be careful to order the poisson (fish) and not the poison (poison)!

I used to when I was a kid, and you know how I started to remember? This is funny -- I told myself "dessert" has two S's because it's tastier than desert. Two S's = delicious. Strange, but this worked for me and haven't had trouble remembering which is which ever since. Lol.

Honestly no, it never confuses me.

I always remember that the post dinner sweet has two "S" by thinking you would always want seconds of dessert and only one desert.

Nope, I think it's pretty easy to remember.

No. I never understood what was so hard about that one.

I like that! Sometimes I second guess if I'm choosing the right one.

I always remember it by "dessert" has 2 s's for strawberry shortcake.

I tend to, but I occasionally forget it when typing

No, but I used to have huge trouble spelling "definitely" in high school. "Definately" always seemed better, somehow...
